Click to expand...

See if Windows Image Acquisition is enabled, under
START|ALL|ADMINISTRATIVE|SERVICES.
It should be "automatic". If not, right-click the item, choose
PROPERTIES, and click the small arrow to the right of the Startup Type
box. Choose "automatic" and click on OK.

If this does not work, consider purchasing an Compact Flash card reader.
When plugged into the USB port it will act as a drive. Most any PC or
photo store has these inexpensive readers. Helps save the camera's
battery too.
